Fluke, or summer flounder, trips begin in May and run into August. These fish aren't only a favorite among anglers  to catch, but delicious to eat.

 

 

 

 

June through October spell bluefish. These 5 to 20 pound fighters test the most experienced fisherman's skills & leave the novice awestruck. 

 During peak season "total limit outs' can be landed during a four-hour trip!

 

 

 

Porgy/scup & sea bass school up tight late summer and trough fall. This gives anglers plenty of opportunity to catch "buckets" of the tasty fish.

 

 

 

 

Although the  Long Island Sound has striped bass all year, mid April through late June gives anglers the best chance to land a trophy bass.  

The fall run starts in October and lasts through December, this time of year gives anglers great action on jigs.

 

 

 

Preferring cooler water temps, the black fish is perfect for fishermen who want to extend the fishing season.
